Yesterday was a nice and sunny winter day, so I had to wake up my tracer. The roads are still very dirty and salty🫣

When you describe the RS as sportier are you referring to the more forward lean towards the bars?

Exactly. I like a bit of forward lean. It feels more natural.

I have both of them. Ok, Tracer is not GT but it'll do it.

RS is far more torquier than Tracer. It is more stabile on fast bends, but less agile than Tracer on tight ones. Riding position on RS is sportier. Distance from pegs to the top of the seat is 5cm lower than Tracers! Fuel consumption and capacity is the same - 4l/100km, 18l.

Husqvarna 701 is a totally different story

2798m without any problem

Well.....It's time to say goodbye to my Tracer🙁

It'll be replaced with this beast

Try KTM. There's possible to find neutral between every gear 🤪

There's something wrong with google, because the pictures on your post are from the real edelweisspitze, but the location is not right.

Your map shows a different Edelweisspitze

This is a correct location

Now I have a little less than 80.000km. Everything works ok. I'm not planning to check them for the next 40.000km.

What kind of interval is 60k k.?? That's 37200 some miles. That's way too long. Did they change it?

Did you do the work?

Do you trust who did it?

VERY unusual that all are fine.

My trustworthy mechanic said that is no need to check them until 80.000km. He checked a few cp3 engines at 40.000km and none of them needed adjustment.

Valves on my tracer 900 was first inspected on 60.000km. They were all in spec.

Yesterday on Adriatic Sea coast, near Karlobag, Croatia.

Question:  will this mushroom fix save the tire and allow it to be used with confIdence at high speed?

or is it just a get home type of fix.

It will be ok. It's a permanent fix.

Easy fix, right in the middle.

Mushroom plug from inside out

New screw in rear tire for a better grip.

After 5 years and almost 70.000km was time to replace oem yuasa battery.

Nice VFR!

Catching some vitamin D. 😎

First photo was taken in Karlobag, Croatia on last day of 2021, and second photo was taken the same day exatcly at 00:00 on a last ride in 2021 and first ride in 2022. Happy new year everyone!

I ride only five years. Who inspired me to ride...? Funny thing🙃 BakerXderek, Suburban Delinquent, Royal Jordanian...

About a month and a half ago. My helmet visor froze, but it was ok.
